Rationale
Airtable is a strong match for the Retool concept. It explicitly positions itself as an "AI-native platform for building trusted AI apps" and emphasizes low-code/no-code app building. It offers features like drag-and-drop interfaces, integrations with various data sources and APIs, workflow automation, and AI/LLM integration for app generation and agents. While it doesn't explicitly mention all the granular deployment options of Retool, it does offer flexible hosting and enterprise-grade security features. The presence of a developer section with API docs and scripting indicates code customization capabilities.
